Synopsis

With works exhibited at the world's most renowned museums and sculpture parks, Mark di Suvero has become one of the most important artists to emerge out of the 1960s. With unprecedented access to the artist's studio, archives, records and historical photographs, the authors of this in-depth monograph present fascinating essays on the development of di Suvero's career and unusual, multinational life; a comparison of works installed in bucolic versus urban settings; the intersection between di Suvero's stylistic and political interests; and his work as an advocate for the arts. This volume also includes a new and wide-ranging interview with di Suvero in conversation with artist Ursula von Rydingsvard. Illustrated throughout with contemporary and historical photographs of his large and smaller-scale works, this impressive volume is a definitive examination of one of America's most productive, prodigious and important artists. Published in association with Storm King Art Center, New York.

About this title

Review:

"The book is the first full survey of di Suvero's work, and it explores several long arcs of his career, including his commitment to public art; his citywide exhibitions; and his relationships with Storm King, the city of New York, and his dealer, Richard Bellamy. The book also includes an interview with Ursula von Rydingsvard, a fellow sculptor, along with a superb selection of photographs of di Suvero's work."
